WHAT IS ARKANSAS GIVES?

On April 6, let’s join together to grow the love for our state’s nonprofit organizations. Between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., we’re challenging all Arkansans to give to the charities of their choice. During this one-day event, each donation you give will help your favorite nonprofit organizations (like the Arkansas State Cemetery Beautification Foundation) earn bonus dollars and prizes from Arkansas Community Foundation. The more a nonprofit raises, the more of the bonus dollars it will receive.

Hundreds of Arkansas charities will participate, and you can choose to give to the causes that mean the most to you. Imagine the impact of our entire state giving together! ArkansasGives is one day, one easy way to make your charitable dollars stretch farther and shower your favorite nonprofits with support. Good things are happening in Arkansas, and you can help grow the love!

WHY GIVE ON ARKANSAS GIVES DAY?

You can get more bang for your charitable buck on ArkansasGives Day. During this one-day event, each dollar you give will help the Arkansas State Cemetery Beautification Foundation qualify for additional bonus dollars and prizes from Arkansas Community Foundation. Your gift can have an extra impact when you give on April 6!

Your gift helps us win additional cash prizes. ArkansasGives is a celebration of giving, but it’s also a friendly competition among nonprofit organizations. Prizes will be awarded to the organizations that receive the most dollars overall and the most individual contributions. Throughout the day, we’ll be able to track our progress on the leader board at ArkansasGives.org. Because we know you care about our mission, we hope you’ll show your support on this day when the eyes of our entire state will be focused on charitable needs.
